Greater Gotham: Mike Wallace with Jelani Cobb

Pulitzer Prize–winning historian Mike Wallace returns with the second volume of his immersive history of New York City.

This year sees publication of the long-awaited follow-up, Greater Gotham: A History of New York City from 1898 to 1919, in which Wallace picks up the story at the pivotal moment when ambition, immigrant dreams, and Wall Street greed fueled the city’s expansion and rise to global prominence.
